<p>fendrock, Perhaps if you give a specific geographic location someone can come up with a place near you. In the past we’ve donated toys to Goodwill and the Salvation army.</p>
<p>How about a kindergarten class in an area where the teachers might not have much. We have done this with our old but loved picture books and first readers.
Also you might find a women’s shelter that would love it. Or a transistional home for homeless families.</p>
<p>Try a local women’s emergency shelter – some take women and children who have left their homes due to domestic violence and are thankful to have escaped with the clothes on their backs, but they have nothing else.</p>
<p>My kids made a large donation of stuffed animals to a hospital for children on the conditon that they were “new” - that wouldn’t except them unless they were never used.</p>
<p>Our girl scout troops collect toys, videos, books, travel size toiletries,etc for our local children’s hopital house where families of sick kids stay while their child is getting treatments. The items are very appreciated since these families are away from their homes for extended periods and often have their other kids staying with them.</p>
